Line Commands

flowin

Determines if input flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.

flowout

Determines if output flow control is to be used. Default is On. This is active only when Line Flow Control is set to Soft, Hard, or Both.

hotkey-prefix

The prefix that a user types to lock a line or redraw the Menu. The default value is hex

01, which corresponds to Ctrl-a(^a) (hex value 02 would be Ctrl-b (^b), etc.):

z^a l—(Lowercase L) Locks the line until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user must retype the password to unlock the line.

z^r—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may not be redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly.

You can use the Hotkey Prefix key to lock a line only when the Line Lock parameter is On.

idle-timer

Enter a time period, in seconds, for which the Idle Timer will run. Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the Idle Timer expires, the IOLAN will end the connection. The maximum value is 4294967 seconds (about 49 days). The default value of 0 (zero) means the Idle Timer will not expire, so the connection is permanently open.

data-logging

When enabled, serial data will be buffered if the TCP connection is lost. When the TCP connection is re-established, the buffered serial data will be sent to its destination .

Note: A kill line or a reboot of the IOLAN causes all buffered data to be lost.

The minimum data buffer size for all models is 1K. The maximum data buffer size is 2000 KB for DS1/TS1/STS8D, all other models the maximum size is 4000 KB. If the data buffer is filled, incoming serial data will overwrite the oldest data.

Some profile features are not compatible when using the Data Logging feature. See Data Logging Appendix H in the IOLAN User’s Guide for more information.

Data logging is only valid for Trueport and TCP Sockets profiles. Values: 1-2000 KB (DS1/TS1/STS8D)

Values: 1-4000 KB (all other models)

Default Buffer Size: 4 KB (DS1/TS1/STS8D)

Default Buffer Size: 256 KB (all other models)

Default: Disabled initial

Specifies the initial interface a user navigates when logging into the line; either the Menu or a prompt for the CLI. The default is CLI.

initiate-connection

Initiates a Telnet connection to the specified host when any data is received by the serial port or when the specified character is received by the serial port (direct Telnet only).
